Pretty Girl

Todays painting is another found photo, a black and white, date unknown. In these instances I feel sometimes like a fashion designer coming up with colors that this person might wear and look good in. I also wanted to paint her so that if you are a guy looking at the painting you would fall in love with her. Thats all, two simple things in this painting. I reinterpreted what the colors on that day might have been, and I'm trying to have someone fall in love with an inanimate object, can't be too hard can it?

Road Trip Woman

Road Trip Woman

Oil on birch panel, 2010, 7"x 5"


Todays painting is a young woman on the road. The license plate says the car is from Kansas, which makes me think of Bonnie and Clyde. Why? I don't really know. I don't know a thing about Bonnie and Clyde other than the fact that they looked an awful lot like Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. I have to remember, not every young, beautiful woman from this era was in a gang.

Girl On Motorcycle



Girl On Motorcycle

Oil on birch panel, 2010, 5"x7"


This daily painting is of a young lady probably from the 1930s or 40s cruising a nice little stretch of road. I don't normally think of women and motorcycles together, especially from that time period. I suspect this young lady was quite a self reliant free spirited soul.
